In the example, the path is /home/johndoe/.ssh/id_rsa.pub. Check that the path to the key is correct. The key fingerprint (a colon-separated series of 2 digit hexadecimal values) is displayed. Your identification has been saved in /home/johndoe/.ssh/id_rsa. Note that the passphrase is not displayed when you type it in.Įnter passphrase(empty for no passphrase): A null entry means no passphrase is used, but this entry is strongly discouragedįor user accounts. A good passphrase is 10–30 characters long, mixes alphabetic and numeric characters, and avoids simple English prose and English names. This passphrase is used for encrypting your private key.
The public key name is created automatically and the string. Or, you can type an alternative filename.Įnter file in which to save the key(/home/johndoe/.ssh/id_rsa): You can select this file by pressing Return. For information on additional options, see ssh-keygen(1).Įnter file in which to save the key(/home/johndoe/.ssh/id_rsa):Įnter the path to the file that will hold the key.īy default, the file name id_rsa, which represents an RSA v2 key, appears in parentheses. The standard procedure for creating a Secure Shell public/private key pair follows.
